Util. Code §21670), theALUC has the responsibility both “to provide for the orderly development of airports” and “toprevent the creation of new noise and safety problems.” ALUC policies thus have the dualobjectives of: (1) protecting against constraints on airport expansion and operations that can resultfrom encroachment of incompatible land uses, and (2) minimizing the public’s exposure toexcessive noise and safety hazards.2–10Brown Field Municipal Airport Land Use Compatibility PlanJanuary 25, 2010 Amended December 20, 2010
